Timber for Boat / Hull Docking Blocks?
openspaceman replied to Whoppa Choppa's topic in General chat
Yes I was thinking redwoods would be too soft and lack strength. I get the impression elm is fine if totally submerged or buried, less so if wet and dried. We looked to sell shook oak for groins. -
Fine then but Jose was being recommended a Jimny and I was warning that there may be a problem towing an unbraked chipper with it. I'm out.
-
That's irrelevant a 110/defender weighs 2 tonne unladen so a 750kg unbraked chipper is way under half its weight. The C&U regulation only effects lighter vehicles that weigh under 1500kg unladen when towing an unbraked trailer
-
It won't be on the plate, it is a construction and use thing.
-
yes, my vitara can tow 1.2 tonnes with overrun brakes but because you should not tow an unbraked trailer that is more than half the unladen weight of the tow car. So an unbraked chipper of 750kg is too much.
-
if they are as light as my old vitara they can only manage 500kg unbraked,

What’s this interesting material coming out of my stove?

Reminds me of when a Welsh student told me how to say "pleased to meet you" in Welsh when I was to be introduced to my Welsh tutor 😉 -

Yes but it was only the stuff with dimples on one side that exploded. I guess it was steam trapped in the cement. -
When I volunteer with the Ramblers on footpaths, under the supervision of the local authority, those using the battery brush cutter have to wear hard plastic shin guards. I thought it was OTT but...

We got given a box at the Albert Hall in about 71, cannot remember much about it but he wasn't bad. His style went more to his roots as he got older. I certainly understand how a rocking boppper wouldn't get excited with his music but for truly depressing Harry Nilsson did it for me.

I bet, who pulled it out?
-
Why ever not? 15 years ago I spent months with an Ahwi in a 100 hectare plantation taking out the rhody in between the trees with a skid steer. The follow up treatment was good and last year the ecologist told me there was none to be seen.

Shame it wasn't a woman, apparently they can multitask and safely keep their eye on the task as well as the camera.

Who is the person intent on getting the action shot? I guess the customer took the video?
-
I have never seen one but because it is a boxer engine, each piston moves out at the same time, it should be very well balanced and low vibration. Because the crankcase is shared between each cylinder and the crankcase pressure (as each piston is on the power stroke) still acts as a scavenge pump the saw is not piston ported. So the air intake past the single carburetor is controlled by a reed valve on the crankcase.

I fail to see how a hole can be retapped , I agree with @Jase hutch buy a new inner.
-
The taper lock pulleys I had to deal with had 4 holes but the thread was in halves, i.e you could use the half thread in a hole to either force the inner from the outer or to screw the inner into the outer, depending on which pair was used.

I am very glad to hear that as I moved my two cars to them and took the recovery.
-
I have no idea what the carrying capacity might be but with HSE and LOLER requiring scaffolding for the simplest of tasks, which previously just required a ladder, there are plenty of opportunities for a small amount of scaffolding.
-
It is a scaffold transporting lorry so the weight is centred over the axle and it carries fixed but long lengths.

Kohler command 38 pro efi fueling problems.
openspaceman replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Large equipment
Second video shows it working on one cylinder and the other not firing and fuel spurting? I'd say the high pressure connection between the fuel rail and the injector has come adrift in the manifold assuming it is at all like a car. -
14 tonne Nice outfit

Did you explain to the passenger it's always the nearside occupant that gets killed by an over exuberant driver?
